New coil treatment could replace surgery for bleeding hemorrhoids

NCT ID NCT07264413

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

The BRIGHT study will follow 250 adults with grade II-III hemorrhoids who are treated with a procedure called hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE). This technique uses tiny metal coils to block blood flow to the hemorrhoids, aiming to stop bleeding without major surgery. Researchers will track how well it works in everyday practice across Europe.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

haemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) with embolization coils

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a less painful, faster-recovery alternative to surgery for people with bleeding hemorrhoids.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The procedure may not work for everyone, and risks like infection or coil migration exist.
